On September 24, 2007, the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA), established in 1912 and the oldest black athletic conference in United States, announced that Chowan would join the conference for its 2008 football season. Chowan initially entered the CIAA as a football-only member, continuing its membership at the NCAA Division II-level. In joining the CIAA (which sponsors 16 men’s and women’s championships annually).
